Quick News: “Rude Boy” next single in the UK; “Rated R” Best Album of 2009

“Rude Boy” is rumoured to be the second “Rated R” single in the UK (“Russian Roulette” is the first single). If this is true, the song may be released in April, 2010. We don’t know if “Hard” will be released in the UK or not. RiRi and her team shouldn’t forget that the song the fans like the most is “Fire Bomb”…

Entertainment Weekly declared Rated R “Best Pop Album of 2009″ in their Best Of issue. Best Pop Album: Rihanna – Rated R – Well, color us corrected. When we first heard Rated R (via a record-label listening session, as with several other releases on this list), we gave it a B. Since then, the insidious pleasures of the Barbadian superstar’s dark, defiantly uncommercial fourth album have sucked us in entirely. From bursts of spiky aggression (Hard) and ragga-tinged rapture (Rude Boy) to moments of pure, naked vulnerability (the Justin Timberlake-penned heartbreak symphony Cold Case Love), it’s emerged a stealth stunner

cold case love

@da vinci "fire bomb" is about a relationship that's quickly burning away. She knows the flame isn't there anymore, but it seems like he doesn't care, so she wants to set him on fire so she doesn't have to burn alone.

"I didn't do it, you lit the match for me, now we're flying from the blast baby, where we're going we don't need no brakes" means she thinks its not her fault its over, but its nothing she can do and she says "I can't wait to see ur face, when ur front windows break and I come crashing thru" implying she wants revenge since she's the only one who seems to be hurt.

"Fire Bomb" is about Rihanna rocking the world.. Basically, she's saying that she's fresh, hot and ready to "explode" the world! And us, the fans, will be blasted away from this fire bomb!

If you have yet to listen to “Battlefield” by Jordin sparks it is truly an amazing album and is so underrated

yeaah RUDE BOY !! i like it … go ahead RIRI :*
on top of the game

@ pelumiie

True but at the same time I just don’t think this dark image is going over well with people. After GGGB i expected her next album to at least hit the 200,000 mark! I mean she was honestly destined to be the artist of the next decade. But CB messed things up and now Ri has to basically start off like its pre GGGB again and slowly move her way up.

G4L is the best ever! Part from 2:29 makes me crazy!

Beyonce first album sold 12milli
50 cent 9milli
Michael jackson at least 70milli.

Its not likely for an artist to outsell their best selling album. That’s not what im concerned with. Rated r selling 4.5-7mill after 2 years, with a rerelease is great to me. Also take into account her tour will boost sales. She had a 3leg tour with GGGB, rated r tour will bebigger.

Rude boy is my least favorite song from the album. It is fun song but I would prefer other single.

maz

@coldcaselove Im from the UK and i can safely say that "hard" has begun hitting up on my local radio station and the video is being added to music channels in the new year, i think Rihanna is becoming extremely popular in the UK, Umbrella was no.1 for 10 weeks and Run this town was no.1 as well as Russian roulette being No.2! Over here we are all loving Fire Bomb and Photographs but i reckon Hard will go straight to No.1 in the UK ! The whole Rated R album is proving popular over here!!

Hey! Everybodyâ€¦I asume the decision releasing Rude Boy as the next single is due to the play of the song on Myspace..so keep playing the song that you want it might change Ririâ€™s decision. = )
